Improv Warmups and Exercises (Quick demos)

My god. I was thinking of taking an improv class to loosen up and stop being so shy/anxious, but just watching this is stressing me out.

This looks so dumb. I feel like I would fit right in and enjoy it

I love Theater exercises they are so stupid and amazing. You can be stupid with friends. I love it so much

I wish I had friends who were confident enough to do improv exercises like this with me.

Me: "I'm not going to watch this whole video.." 12 minutes later: "...Oh"

Jesus this people are gonna pass out from happiness or something. I feel like I would. Lovely class, thanks for uploading this.

I will try to detail the exercises: - Zoom: Everyone is in a circle. You point to someone and clapping him Zoom and then the named one has to point to someone else and so on - Word Game: Everyone is in a circle. Someone says a word and points to the next one and goes on with a similar word and points out, etc. - Freeze: Everyone doing something has two (or more people on the side). One of them says - Freeze Ivan and touch him and go and take his place and start doing what the man has done so far - Knight, Riding, Cavalier: Someone says one of these words and everyone is in these poses. Knight - horse + one man with sword raised, horse riding - horse + horse riding, cavalier - crouched condition + knee with arm up. In a shuffled order they are said quickly + 5 Things: Shouting 5 Things - Song: Five Things, Five Things, Five Things Five Things. It is called something like dogs - a person quickly lists 5 types of dogs and after every thing everyone in one voice says how many (1,2,3 ....) Again a song is. - Counting to 21: We look, feel and count to 21 - Burning Line: One stands in front of everyone and everyone says a word to him and he says a synonym. Then they alternate. - Mirror Dance: Someone dances in front and everyone repeats it as the music changes and the person changes - Big ass: I'll be the big ass. I'll be 1. I 2. I 3 .... Big ass song. The man says the number. The person who is this number says his number and then another number ... If someone makes a mistake they change places and start again. - The kitten wants a penny: Someone is a kitten and says- The kitten wants pennies, he answers, ask my neighbor when the second question changes places. The goal is to take the place before they take their place. - Trifecta: It is said 3 different things by 3 people. History is built. Someone takes the other thing he said. And they both go off. + Places: Someone says a place and everyone makes that place. Carnival, Paris, Farm (maybe sounds) + Yes, come on: Let's play sick. Everyone: Yes, come on. They start playing ... - Circus: They all raise their hands and point to someone telling You. Then they take it off and repeat everything without hands. Any topics, types of ice cream and points. They intertwine. If someone says you tell you if you say kind of ice cream you say kind of ice cream. At the same time! - Songs: Everyone starts singing and everyone dances ... - Corridors: Some topic has everything and then half of them change and then again ... - News: Hot News: .... Eat What You Are ... Everyone alternates ... Build a story ... And at least one of the words mentioned in the previous story - Wow, AY: Someone file an imaginary ball with Lush. The other is filing or saying Hey. I stir. Says someone else arbitrary. Special words. 🌋 Everyone gathers in the middle and makes a volcano. On Earth: Everyone jumps to the ground. - Rotating Circle: Run in a circle, let's turn the circle. - Five Elements: It builds a story as everyone says something and plays it. - A story in a circle: Someone stands in the middle and says something (milk is over). Another ... But that was our last milk. - Ivan's Report: Two by two. One is Ivan's report. The other responds in different ways and says something. Since when are you waiting for this report ... + Yes and ...: Two people. They tell and play a story. We dug a hole ... Yes and we hit a stone ... Yes and ...

These are real life social skills believe it or not.

My anxiety is going up just watching you guys. I don't think I could do this if my life depended on it.

that was the most action pact 11 minutes of my entire life I would kill for these people

I have no idea why they do it but I need these dorks in my life.

I need to lay down, I think this video triggered my fight or flight response

I needed some fun exercises to do with a group I'm facilitating and a lot of these are totally perfect. Thank you!

Man I felt like I wanted these guys to be my buddies once I finished the video 😊

Brilliant! Thank you so much for this! Quick and simple, saves a lot of reading time for me. And you look like a very fun ensemble! :)

I love that you did everything without much explaination. The best improv game video I've seen, great job.

Thank you guys!! I have an improv group here in Maine and you gave me some new warm ups and fun changes to others!

What an amazing demo and assortment of warmup games. You are all so sweet with the PG suggestions too, Haha. Thank you for making this!!! So helpful!! 🎉❤
